"We have teams of people working on electric cars," Branson
replied. "So you never know — you may find Virgin competing with
the Tesla in the car business as we do in the space business. We
will see what happens."

No need for Tesla CEO Elon Musk to start quaking in his boots,
but it's interesting that Virgin has multiple teams
focused on electric cars.

The business of making smart, electric automobiles is gaining
speed. Besides Tesla and possibly Virgin, Google continues to work on its
self-driving cars, Uber may have similar ambitions, and Apple is
reportedly working on its own vehicle.
